Multiplies leverage to give you up to 3X more power on every cut. Powers through thick branches that traditional loppers and pruners can't. Designed with modified gears and cam mechanism to optimize your cutting power in the middle of the cut where the branch is thickest and you need it most. Makes cutting easier than it is with other tools. Fully hardened steel blade stays sharp, even through heavy use. Low-friction coating helps the blade glide through wood, prevents the blade from gumming up with sap and debris and helps the blade resist rust. Rounded ergonomic handles with Softgrip touch points enhance comfort and control. Tough steel construction with riveted handles offers lasting durability.
